Trekking around Manaslu offers a unique opportunity to experience relatively untouched part of Nepal. Trekking in Manasalu region was officially opened to trekkers in 1991 but mountaineering expeditions have had long access to this region. A team led by H .W Tillman trekked from Tonje to Bhimtang and Col. Jimmy Roberts crossed Larke La (5230m) looking for an interesting mountain to climb in 1950. However the Japanese Expedition Team climbed Manasalu only in 1956. The around Manasalu trek starts from the ramparts of an historical place perched on a ridge high above Gorkha in central Nepal and Manaslu Himal appears like a rugged arctic wall far to the north. Trekking round Manasalu exhibits the sensational mountain views, fascinating culture and has one of the most dramatic Himalayan high altitudes pass called Larke La. Much of the around Manasalu trek is in the region known as Nupri, an area of b Tibetan influence with the trade route between the regions is still active. Undoubtedly around Manasalu trek makes your adventure dream of remote trekking in Nepal.
